Speaking on Eurosport Stefanos Tsitsipass coach commented on the hilarious on-court coaching got during his quarter-final match against Roberto Bautista Agut.
Mouratoglou, who coached Serena Williams during the controversial 2018 US Open final, said: I did not say a word! Its his father (Apostolos). It was not a big deal. He took a break at the end of the set, he was not drinking at the changeover twice in a row, because he forgot.
I know its crazy and we were like: He needs to drink We told him: Do not forget to drink And he got a coaching violation. He is so much in the match he does not realize and he does not think about the basic things.
Mouratoglou added: He gets the moment in the match, he is the ultimate competitor for me, and thats why he is where he is now. In a press conference the Athens native was asked if he was surprised with his performances: A little bit, yeah.
You have a bigger picture of your opponent when hes going to come out. You think hes going to do some extraordinary things. But Roberto was playing great today. He showed some good tennis the entire week. But in the end, its completely different of what I can picture it before going on the court, how you can imagine how your opponent is going to play.
What I realised recently, your opponent feels the exact same thing you feel. Its a pretty balanced match. The difference is who is going to press more and be more aggressive than the other. But I did surprise a little bit myself with my performance, yeah.
